What is Hand assisted laparoscopic surgery (Hals):In hand-assisted surgery, the surgeon can insert a hand through the small incision via a special pressurized sleeve. In this procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision in the abdomen and inserts his hand into the patients body, using it for sensory perception and to guide the surgical instruments he manipulates with his other hand while observing the entire procedure on a TV screen overhead. With both a hand and laparoscopic instruments doing the work, the surgeon has more control over the operation and sense of depth and sensation of touch than can not be gained through the lens of a camera. The large organ can be removed intact, making it possible to evaluate the cancer. The hand-assisted approach is also considered better for surgeons who are still learning laparoscopic techniques.Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery is the use of the non-dominant hand intra-abdominally, together with the laparoscopic instruments in the right hand.W
